At the 2025 Met Gala, Nicole Kidman shocked and surprised us all when she walked the red carpet with a pixie cut. She didn’t actually<\/em> cut off all her hair for the first Monday in May, but it was still major. For the 2026 Met Gala, the Oscar winner\u2014who is serving as a co-host alongside Venus Williams and Beyonc\u00e9\u2014went in the complete opposite direction with inches upon inches of long, waist-length hair. Nicole, Nicole, let down your hair! Well, wait\u2026 she already did, and we’re obsessed.<\/p>\n Kidman worked with hairstylist Adir Abergel on her flowing strawberry-blonde lengths, which she wore alongside a bright red sequined gown with feather trim from Chanel. (She’s an ambassador for the French fashion house.) The star’s hair was styled simply with just the teeniest<\/em> hint of a bend. Her long, cheekbone-length curtain bangs were parted to either side.<\/p>\n But let’s talk about that butt-grazing length, which would absolutely make Rapunzel jealous! Kidman’s hair flowed past her shoulders and all the way down past her hips, adding even more drama to the rich, sparkly red dress. (You know who would also love that dress? Satine from Moulin Rouge!)<\/em><\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Given the impactful nature of her extra-, extra-long hair and the showgirl-style dress, Kidman and her team kept the rest of her glam details soft and subtle, leaning into peach tones on her cheeks and lips. You never know what the Oscar winner is going to do on the red carpet; she’s a chameleon both on and off camera, and after last year’s pixie cut, we knew anything<\/em> was possible. Kidman’s model daughter Sunday Rose Urban got to walk the carpet this year too, also<\/em> with super-long hair. Fashion is art, and so is this whole sparkly, feathery, Rapunzel-y moment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Nicole](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69f909ba7e4991a36f35e0a8\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/nicole%2520kidman%2520met%2520gala%2520hair%25202026.jpg\"\/)
